Jennie Garth Tried to Save Her Marriage to Peter Facinelli

Jennie Garth tried to hold her marriage to husband, Peter Facinelli together. Unfortunately, it takes two to keep a marriage together and Peter wanted out. Facinelli officially filed the divorce papers today.

Over the past two years, as Facinelli’s career was taking off (he plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight series and is a regular on Showtime’s Nurse Jackie), the couple began spending more time apart, according to People.

In 2010, Garth, 39, and their daughters moved to the family’s Santa Ynez Valley, Calif., ranch house, while Facinelli, 38, commuted from Vancouver and New York City.

“He would do everything he could to fly back every weekend,” says Garth. “[But] it took a real toll on our marriage.”

Garth has a new reality show, Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country, that premieres on April 20.
